ذِكْرُ مَنْ تُوُفِّيَ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ مِنَ الْأَكَابِرِ. أَحْمَدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ حَمْدَانَ بْنِ مَالِكِ بْنِ شَبِيبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْقَطِيعِيُّ وُلِدَ فِي مُحَرَّمٍ سَنَةَ أَرْبَعٍ وَسَبْعِينَ وَمِائَتَيْنِ، وَأَبُوهُ يُكَنَّى: أَبَا الْفَضْلِ، وَحَمْدَانُ لَقَبٌ، وَإِنَّمَا اسْمُهُ أَحْمَدُ، وَكَانَ يَسْكُنُ قَطِيعَةَ الدَّقِيقِ فَنُسِبَ إِلَيْهَا، سَمِعَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مِنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، وَإِسْحَاقَ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الْحَرْبِيَّيْنِ، وَبِشْرِ بْنِ مُوسَى، وَالْكُدَيْمِيِّ، وَالْكَجِّيِّ، وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ، وَغَيْرِهِمْ، وَكَانَ كَثِيرَ الْحَدِيثِ، ثِقَةً ، رَوَى عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ "الْمُسْنَدَ" وَ "الزُّهْدَ" وَ "التَّارِيخَ"، وَ "الْمَسَائِلَ" وَغَيْرَ ذَلِكَ. يَقُولُ أَبَا بَكْرِ بْنَ مَالِكٍ الْقَطِيعِيَّ: كَانَتْ وَالِدَتِي بِنْتَ أَخِي [ أَبِي ] عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْجَصَّاصِ، وَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ يَجِيئُنَا فَيَقْرَأُ عَلَيْنَا مَا نُرِيدُ، وَكَانَ يُقْعِدُنِي فِي حِجْرِهِ حَتَّى يُقَالَ لَهُ: يُؤْلِمُكَ ؟ فَيَقُولُ: إِنِّي أُحِبُّهُ. قَالَ الْمُصَنِّفُ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ: لَمَّا غَرِقَتِ الْقَطِيعَةُ بِالْمَاءِ الْأَسْوَدِ غَرَقَ بَعْضُ كُتُبِهِ، فَاسْتَحْدَثَ عِوَضَهَا، فَتَكَلَّمَ فِيهِ بَعْضُهُمْ، وَقَالَ: كَتَبَ مِنْ كِتَابٍ لَيْسَ فِيهِ سَمَاعُهُ، وَمِثْلُ هَذَا لَا يُطْعَنُ بِهِ عَلَيْهِ؛ لِأَنَّهُ لَا يَجُوزُ أَنْ تَكُونَ تِلْكَ الْكُتُبُ قَدْ قُرِئَتْ عَلَيْهِ، وَعُورِضَ بِهَا أَصْلُهُ. وَقَدْ رَوَى عَنْهُ الْأَئِمَّةُ كَالدَّارَقُطْنِيِّ، وَابْنِ شَاهِينَ، وَالْبَرْقَانِيِّ، وَأَبِي نُعَيْمٍ، وَالْحَاكِمِ، وَلَمْ يَمْتَنِعْ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الرِّوَايَةِ عَنْهُ، وَلَا تَرَكَ الِاحْتِجَاجَ بِهِ. وَقَالَ الْخَطِيبُ: لَمَّا اجْتَمَعْتُ بِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْحَاكِمِ ذَكَرْتُ ابْنَ مَالِكٍ وَلَيَّنْتُهُ، فَأَنْكَرَ عَلَيَّ، وَقَالَ: ذَلِكَ شَيْخِي، وَحَسَّنَ حَالَهُ. وَقَدْ حَكَى عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْفُرَاتِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: تَغَيَّرَ ابْنُ مَالِكٍ فِي آخِرِ عُمْرِهِ، فَكَانَ لَا يَعْرِفُ شَيْئًا مِمَّا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِ، وَتُوُفِّيَ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ، وَدُفِنَ فِي مَقَابِرِ بَابِ حَرْبٍ قَرِيبًا مِنْ قَبْرِ الْإِمَامِ أَحْمَدَ [ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ ] تَمِيمُ بْنُ الْمُعِزِّ قَدْ ذَكَرْنَا أَنَّ الْمُعِزَّ أَوَّلُ مَنْ ظَهَرَ مِنَ الْمَغْرِبِ [ عَلَى دِيَارِ مِصْرَ ] وَكَانَ لَهُ أَوْلَادٌ؛ مِنْهُمْ: تَمِيمٌ [ هَذَا ]، وَكَانَ فِي تَمِيمٍ فَضْلٌ، وَوَفَاءٌ، وَكَرَمٌ، وَفَصَاحَةٌ، وَلَهُ شِعْرٌ حَسَنٌ. قَالَ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الْأَشْكَرِيُّ الْمِصْرِيُّ: كُنْتُ مِنْ جُلَّاسِ الْأَمِيرِ تَمِيمِ بْنِ الْمُعِزِّ، وَمِمَّنْ غَلَبَ عَلَيْهِ جِدًّا، فَبَعَثَ [ بِي ] إِلَى بَغْدَادَ، فَاشْتَرَيْتُ لَهُ جَارِيَةً رَائِعَةً مِنْ أَفْضَلِ مَا وُجِدَ فِي الْحُسْنِ وَالْغِنَاءِ، فَلَمَّا وَصَلَتْ إِلَيْهِ أَقَامَ دَعْوَةً لِجُلَسَائِهِ وَأَنَا فِيهِمْ، ثُمَّ وُضِعَتِ السِّتَارَةُ وَأَمَرَهَا بِالْغِنَاءِ؛ فَغَنَّتْ: وَبَدَا لَهُ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا انْدَمَلَ الْهَوَى بَرْقٌ تَأَلَّقَ مُوهِنًا لَمَعَانُهُ يَبْدُو كَحَاشِيَةِ الرِّدَاءِ وَدُونَهُ صَعْبُ الذُّرَى مُتَمَنِّعٌ أَرْكَانُهُ وَفِي غَيْرِ هَذِهِ الرِّوَايَةِ زِيَادَةٌ: فَبَدَا لِيَنْظُرَ كَيْفَ لَاحَ فَلَمْ يُطِقْ نَظَرًا إِلَيْهِ وَصَدَّهُ سَجَّانُهُ فَالنَّارُ مَا اشْتَمَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ ضُلُوعُهُ وَالْمَاءُ مَا سَمَحَتْ بِهِ أَجْفَانُهُ قَالَ: أَحْسَنَتِ، وَطَرِبَ تَمِيمٌ، وَكُلُّ مَنْ حَضَرَ، ثُمَّ غَنَّتْ. سَيُسْلِيكَ عَمَّا فَاتَ أَوَّلُ مِفْضَلٍ أَوَائِلُهُ مَحْمُودَةٌ وَأَوَاخِرُهْ ثَنَى اللَّهُ عِطْفَيْهِ وَأَلَّفَ شَخْصَهُ عَلَى الْبِرِّ مُذْ شُدَّتْ عَلَيْهِ مَآزِرُهْ فَطَرِبَ الْأَمِيرُ تَمِيمٌ، وَمَنْ حَضَرَ طَرَبًا شَدِيدًا، ثُمَّ غَنَّتْ: أَسْتَوْدِعُ اللَّهَ فِي بَغْدَادَ لِي قَمَرًا بِالْكَرْخِ مِنْ فَلَكِ الْأَزْرَارِ مَطْلَعُهُ فَاشْتَدَّ طَرَبُ تَمِيمٍ، وَأَفْرَطَ جَدًا ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهَا: تَمَنَّيْ مَا شِئْتِ فَلَكَ مُنَاكِ. فَقَالَتْ: أَتَمَنَّى عَافِيَةَ الْأَمِيرِ وَبَقَاءَهُ، فَقَالَ: وَوَاللَّهِ لَا بُدَّ لَكِ أَنْ تَتَمَنَّيْ. فَقَالَتْ: عَلَى الْوَفَاءِ أَيُّهَا الْأَمِيرُ بِمَا أَتَمَنَّى ؟ فَقَالَ: نَعَمْ. فَقَالَتْ: أَتَمَنَّى أَنْ أُغَنِّيَ هَذِهِ النَّوْبَةَ بِبَغْدَادَ، فَاسْتَنْقَعَ لَوْنُ تَمِيمٍ، وَتَغَيَّرَ لَوْنُهُ، وَتَكَدَّرَ الْمَجْلِسُ، وَقَامَ وَقُمْنَا كُلُّنَا. قَالَ ابْنُ الْأَشْكَرِيِّ فَلَحِقَنِي بَعْضُ خَدَمِهِ وَقَالَ لِي: ارْجِعْ، فَالْأَمِيرُ يَدْعُوكَ. فَرَجَعْتُ فَوَجَدْتُهُ جَالِسًا يَنْتَظِرُنِي، فَسَلَّمْتُ وَجَلَسْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: [ وَيْحَكَ ] أَرَأَيْتَ مَا امْتُحِنَّا بِهِ. قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ أَيُّهَا الْأَمِيرُ. قَالَ: لَا بُدَّ مِنَ الْوَفَاءِ لَهَا وَمَا أَثِقُ فِي هَذَا بِغَيْرِكَ، فَتَأَهَّبْ لِتَحْمِلَهَا إِلَى بَغْدَادَ، فَإِذَا غَنَّتْ هُنَاكَ فَاصْرِفْهَا؛ فَقُلْتُ: سَمْعًا وَطَاعَةً، قَالَ: ثُمَّ قُمْتُ وَتَأَهَّبْتُ، وَأَمَرَهَا بِالتَّأَهُّبِ، وَأَصْحَبَهَا جَارِيَةً لَهُ سَوْدَاءَ تُعَادِلُهَا وَتَخْدِمُهَا، وَأَمَرَ بِنَاقَةٍ وَمَحْمَلٍ، فَأُدْخِلَتْ فِيهِ، وَحَمَلَهَا مَعِي، ثُمَّ سِرْتُ إِلَى مَكَّةَ مَعَ الْقَافِلَةِ، فَقَضَيْنَا حَجَّنَا ثُمَّ دَخَلْنَا فِي قَافِلَةِ الْعِرَاقِ، وَسِرْنَا؛ فَلَمَّا وَرَدْنَا الْقَادِسِيَّةَ أَتَتْنِي السَّوْدَاءُ عَنْهَا، فَقَالَتْ: تَقُولُ لَكَ سَيِّدَتِي: أَيْنَ نَحْنُ ؟ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا: نَحْنُ نُزُولٌ بِالْقَادِسِيَّةِ، فَانْصَرَفَتْ إِلَيْهَا فَأَخْبَرَتْهَا، فَلَمْ أَنْشَبَ أَنْ سَمِعْتُ صَوْتَهَا قَدْ تَدَافَعَ بِالْغِنَاءِ: لَمَّا وَرَدْنَا الْقَادِسِيَّةَ حَيْثُ مُجْتَمَعُ الرِّفَاقِ وَشَمَمْتُ مِنْ أَرْضِ الْحِجَازِ نَسِيمَ أَرْوَاحِ الْعِرَاقِ أَيْقَنْتُ لِي وَلِمَنْ أَحَبَّ بِجَمْعِ شَمْلٍ وَاتِّفَاقِ وَضَحِكْتُ مِنْ فَرَحِ اللِّقَاءِ كَمَا بَكَيْتُ مِنَ الْفِرَاقِ فَتَصَايَحَ النَّاسُ مِنْ أَقْطَارِ الْقَافِلَةِ: أَعِيذِي بِاللَّهِ، أَعِيذِي بِاللَّهِ. قَالَ: فَمَا سُمِعَ لَهَا كَلِمَةٌ. قَالَ: ثُمَّ نَزَلْنَا بِالْيَاسِرِيَّةِ، وَبَيْنَهَا وَبَيْنَ بَغْدَادَ قُرْبٌ فِي بَسَاتِينَ مُتَّصِلَةٍ، يَنْزِلُهَا النَّاسُ فَيَبِيتُونَ لَيْلَتَهُمْ، ثُمَّ يُبَكِّرُونَ لِدُخُولِ بَغْدَادَ؛ فَلَمَّا كَانَ قُرَيْبَ الصَّبَاحِ إِذَا بِالسَّوْدَاءِ قَدْ أَتَتْنِي مَذْعُورَةً، فَقُلْتُ: مَا لَكِ ؟ فَقَالَتْ: إِنَّ سَيِّدَتِي لَيْسَتْ حَاضِرَةً، فَقُلْتُ: وَأَيْنَ هِيَ ؟ قَالَتْ: وَاللَّهِ مَا أَدْرِي. قَالَ: فَلَمْ أُحِسَّ لَهَا أَثَرًا بَعْدُ، وَدَخَلْتُ بَغْدَادَ وَقَضَيْتُ حَوَائِجِي مِنْهَا، وَانْصَرَفْتُ إِلَيْهِ، فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ الْخَبَرَ، فَعَظُمَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ، وَاغْتَمَّ لَهُ، ثُمَّ مَا زَالَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ ذَاكِرًا لَهَا وَاجِمًا عَلَيْهَا. الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمَرْزُبَانِ، أَبُو سَعِيدٍ السِّيرَافِيُّ النَّحْوِيُّ الْقَاضِي سَكَنَ بَغْدَادَ، وَوَلِيَ الْقَضَاءَ بِهَا، وَحَدَّثَ بِهَا عَنْ جَمَاعَةٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ، وَأَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ دُرَيْدٍ وَغَيْرِهِمَا، وَكَانَ أَبُوهُ مَجُوسِيًّا وَاسْمُهُ بَهْزَادُ، فَسَمَّاهُ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، قَالَ رَئِيسَ الرُّؤَسَاءِ أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ عَلِيَّ بْنَ الْحَسَنِ: يَذْكُرُ أَنَّ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ السِّيرَافِيَّ النَّحْوِيَّ كَانَ يَدْرُسُ الْقُرْآنَ، وَالْقِرَاءَاتِ، وَعُلُومَ الْقُرْآنِ، وَالنَّحْوَ، وَاللُّغَةَ، وَالْفِقْهَ، وَالْفَرَائِضَ، وَالْكَلَامَ، وَالشِّعْرَ، وَالْعَرُوضَ، وَالْقَوَافِيَ، وَالْحِسَابَ.، وَذَكَرَ عُلُومًا سِوَى هَذِهِ، وَكَانَ مِنْ أَعْلَمِ النَّاسِ بِنَحْوِ الْبَصْرِيِّينَ، وَيَنْتَحِلُ مَذْهَبَ أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ فِي الْفِقْهِ، وَقَرَأَ عَلَى أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ مُجَاهِدٍ الْقُرْآنَ، وَعَلَى ابْنِ دُرَيْدٍ اللُّغَةَ، وَدَرَسَا جَمِيعًا عَلَيْهِ النَّحْوَ، وَقَرَأَ عَلَى أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ السَّرَّاجِ، وَعَلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ الْمُبْرَمَانِ النَّحْوَ، وَقَرَأَ أَحَدُهُمَا عَلَيْهِ الْقُرْآنَ، وَدَرَسَ الْآخَرُ عَلَيْهِ الْحِسَابَ، وَكَانَ زَاهِدًا لَا يَأْكُلُ إِلَّا مِنْ كَسْبِ يَدِهِ - فَذَكَرَ جَدِّي أَبُو الْفَرَجِ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ لَا يَخْرُجُ إِلَى مَجْلِسِ الْحُكْمِ الْعَزِيزِ وَلَا إِلَى مَجْلِسِ التَّدْرِيسِ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ إِلَّا بَعْدَ أَنْ يَنْسَخَ عَشْرَ وَرَقَاتٍ يَأْخُذُ أُجْرَتَهَا عَشَرَةَ دَرَاهِمَ تَكُونُ قَدْرَ مُؤْنَتِهِ ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ. وَقَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي الْفَوَارِسِ: كَانَ يَذْكُرُ عَنْهُ الِاعْتِزَالَ، وَلَمْ نَرَهُ يُظْهِرُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا، وَكَانَ نَزِهًا عَفِيفًا، تُوُفِّيَ فِي رَجَبٍ هَذِهِ السَّنَةَ، عَنْ أَرْبَعٍ وَثَمَانِينَ سَنَةً، وَدُفِنَ فِي مَقْبَرَةِ الْخَيْزُرَانِ. عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ يُوسُفَ، أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ الزِّنْجَانِيُّ، وَيُعْرَفُ بِالْأَبْنَدُونِيِّ وَهِيَ قَرْيَةٌ مِنْ قُرَى جُرْجَانَ، أَحَدُ الرَّحَّالِينَ فِي طَلَبِ الْعِلْمِ وَالْحَدِيثِ إِلَى الْبِلَادِ، وَكَانَ رَفِيقَ أَبِي أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَدِيٍّ الْحَافِظِ، وَسَكَنَ بَغْدَادَ، وَحَدَّثَ عَنْ أَبِي يَعْلَى الْمَوْصِلِيِّ، وَالْحَسَنِ بْنِ سُفْيَانَ، وَابْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ، وَغَيْرِهِمْ، رَوَى عَنْهُ الْبَرْقَانِيُّ وَغَيْرُهُ، وَكَانَ ثِقَةً ثَبْتًا مُصَنِّفًا . قَالَ الْخَطِيبُ سَمِعْتُ الْبَرْقَانِيَّ ذَكَرَ الْأَبْنَدُونِيَّ، قَالَ: كَانَ مُحَدِّثًا قَدْ أَكَلَ مِلْحَهُ، وَكَانَ زَاهِدًا، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يُحَدِّثُ غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ مُنْفَرِدٍ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ: أَصْحَابُ الْحَدِيثِ فِيهِمْ سُوءُ أَدَبٍ، فَإِذَا اجْتَمَعُوا لِلسَّمَاعِ تَحَدَّثُوا، وَأَنَا لَا أَصْبِرُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ. قَالَ الْبَرْقَانِيُّ: وَدَفَعَ إِلَيَّ يَوْمًا قَدْحًا فِيهِ كِسَرٌ يَابِسَةٌ، وَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَحْمِلَهُ إِلَى الْبَاقِلَّاوِيِّ لِيَطْرَحَ عَلَيْهِ مَاءَ الْبَاقِلَاءِ، فَفَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ، فَلَمَّا أَلْقَى الْبَاقِلَّاوِيُّ الْمَاءَ فِي الْقَدَحِ مِنَ الْبَاقِلَّاءِ ثِنْتَانِ، أَوْ ثَلَاثٌ، فَقَالَ: فَبَادَرَ الْبَاقِلَّاوِيُّ إِلَى رَفْعِهَا، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: وَيْحَكَ، مَا مِقْدَارُ هَذَا حَتَّى تَرْفَعَهُ مِنَ الْقَدَحِ ؟ فَقَالَ: هَذَا الشَّيْخُ يُعْطِينِي فِي كُلِّ شَهْرٍ دَانَقًا حَتَّى أَبُلَّ لَهُ الْكِسَرَ الْيَابِسَةَ، فَكَيْفَ أَدْفَعُ إِلَيْهِ الْبَاقِلَّاءَ مَعَ الْمَاءِ ؟ ! وَجَعَلَ الْبَرْقَانِيُّ يَصِفُ أَشْيَاءَ مَنْ تَقَلَّلَهُ وَزَهَّدَهُ، وَقَالَ: كَانَ سَيِّدًا فِي الْمُحَدِّثِينَ، تُوُفِّيَ الْآبَنْدَوَنِيُّ فِي جُمَادَى الْأُولَى، مِنْ هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ. عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَرْقَاءَ أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ أَخْبَرَنَا الْقَزَّازُ، أَخْبَرَنَا الْخَطِيبُ قَالَ: كَانَ أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبُيُوتَاتِ وَأُسْرَتُهُ كَانُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الثُّغُورِ، أَنْشَدَنَا الْقَاضِي أَبُو عَلِيٍّ قَالَ: أَنْشَدَنَا الْأَمِيرُ أَبُو أَحْمَدَ ابْنُ وَرْقَاءَ قَالَ: أَنْشَدَنَا ثَعْلَبٌ قَالَ: أَنْشَدَنِي ابْنُ الْأَعْرَابِيِّ لِأَعْرَابِيٍّ فِي صِفَةِ النِّسَاءِ: هِيَ الضِّلْعُ الْعَوْجَاءُ لَسْتَ تُقِيمُهَا أَلَا إِنَّ تَقْوِيمَ الضُّلُوعِ انْكِسَارُهَا أَيَجْمَعْنَ ضَعْفًا وَاقْتِدَارًا عَلَى الْفَتَى أَلَيْسَ عَجِيبًا ضَعْفُهَا وَاقْتِدَارُهَا ؟ ! تُوُفِّيَ أَبُو أَحْمَدَ فِي آخِرِ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ مِنْ هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ، وَقَدْ بَلَغَ تِسْعِينَ سَنَةً. عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ، أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ الْمُقْرِئُ، الْمَعْرُوفُ بِابْنِ النَّحَّاسِ وُلِدَ سَنَةَ تِسْعِينَ وَمِائَتَيْنِ، وَسَمِعَ أَحْمَدَ بْنَ الْحَسَنِ الصُّوفِيَّ، وَالْبَغَوِيَّ، وَابْنَ أَبِي دَاوُدَ، رَوَى عَنْهُ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ مُجَاهِدٍ، وَأَبُو الْحَسَنِ الْحِمَامِيُّ، وَالْبَرْقَانِيُّ، وَكَانَ ثِقَةً مِنْ أَهْلِ الْقُرْآنِ ، وَالْفَضْلِ، وَالْخَيْرِ، وَالْعَفَافِ، وَالسَّتْرِ، وَالْعَقْلِ الْحَسَنِ، وَالْمَذْهَبِ الْجَمِيلِ. تُوُفِّيَ فِي ذِي الْقِعْدَةِ مِنْ هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ. عِيسَى بْنُ حَامِدِ بْنِ بِشْرِ بْنِ عِيسَى، أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الْقَاضِي، وَيُعْرَفُ: بِابْنِ بِنْتِ الْقَنْبِيطِيِّ سَمِعَ جَعْفَرَ الْفِرْيَابِيَّ، وَابْنَ جَرِيرٍ الطَّبَرِيَّ، وَكَانَ أَحَدَ أَصْحَابِهِ، وَكَانَ ثِقَةً جَمِيلَ الْأَمْرِ ، وَتُوُفِّيَ فِي ذِي الْحِجَّةِ مِنْ هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ ابْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الشَّافِعِيُّ سَمِعَ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، تُوُفِّيَ فِي يَوْمِ الْخَمِيسِ فِي جُمَادَى الْأُولَى مِنْ هَذِهِ

وَكَانَ مِنَ الْعُبَّادِ الْمُجْتَهِدِينَ، وَكَانَ يَحُجُّ وَيَغْزُو، وَلَا يَعْلَمُ بِذَلِكَ أَهْلُ بَلَدِهِ، فَإِذَا سُئِلَ عَنْ غَيْبَتِهِ لَمْ يُحَدِّثْ بِذَلِكَ، وَتُوُفِّيَ فِي رَجَبٍ هَذِهِ

Translation
✧ Mention of the notables who died in this year. Aḥmad b. Jaʿfar b. Ḥamdān b. Mālik b. Shabīb b. ʿAbd Allāh, Abū Bakr al-Qaṭīʿī He was born in Muḥarram of the year 274. His father was known as Abū al-Faḍl, and Ḥamdān is a nickname; his name was actually Aḥmad. He used to live in Qaṭīʿat al-Daqīq, so he was named after it. Abū Bakr heard from Ibrāhīm b. Isḥāq and Isḥāq b. al-Ḥasan, the two Ḥarbīs, and Bishr b. Mūsā, al-Kudaymī, al-Kajjī, ʿAbd Allāh b. Aḥmad, and others. He was a prolific transmitter of ḥadīth and trustworthy. He transmitted from ʿAbd Allāh b. Aḥmad the Musnad, al-Zuhd, al-Tārīkh, al-Masāʾil, and other works. Abū Bakr b. Mālik al-Qaṭīʿī said: My mother was the daughter of the brother of [Abū] ʿAbd Allāh b. al-Jaṣṣāṣ. ʿAbd Allāh b. Aḥmad used to come to us and read to us whatever we wanted. He would seat me in his lap until someone said to him, "Does it hurt you?" He would say, "I love him." The author (may God have mercy on him) said: When al-Qaṭīʿa was flooded by the black water, some of his books were drowned, so he obtained replacements for them. Some people spoke about him regarding that and said: He wrote from a book that did not contain his own audition. But such a thing cannot be used to impugn him, because it is not possible that those books had not been read to him and collated with his original. The leading scholars transmitted from him, such as al-Dāraquṭnī, Ibn Shāhīn, al-Barqānī, Abū Nuʿaym, and al-Ḥākim. No one refrained from transmitting from him or abandoned using him as an authority. Al-Khaṭīb said: When I met Abū ʿAbd Allāh al-Ḥākim, I mentioned Ibn Mālik and spoke critically of him, but he objected to me and said: He is my shaykh, and he praised his standing. It is related from Abū al-Ḥasan b. al-Furāt that he said: Ibn Mālik changed at the end of his life, and he no longer recognized anything that was read to him. He died in this year and was buried in the cemetery of Bāb Ḥarb, near the grave of Imām Aḥmad [b. Ḥanbal]. Tamīm b. al-Muʿizz We have already mentioned that al-Muʿizz was the first to appear from the Maghrib [over the lands of Egypt]. He had children, among them this Tamīm. Tamīm possessed excellence, loyalty, generosity, eloquence, and good poetry. Abū ʿAlī al-Ḥasan b. al-Ashkarī al-Miṣrī said: I was one of the boon companions of the emir Tamīm b. al-Muʿizz, and one of those who enjoyed his greatest favor. He sent me to Baghdad, and I bought for him a stunning slave girl, among the finest to be found in beauty and singing. When she reached him, he held a banquet for his boon companions, and I was among them. Then a curtain was placed, and he commanded her to sing. She sang: A lightning flash appeared to him after passion had healed, Gleaming at night with its radiance. It appears like the edge of a cloak, and before it A difficult height, forbidding its pillars. And in another version there is an addition: He appeared to look at how it shone, but could not Look at it, for his jailer turned him away. The fire is what his ribs contain, And the water is what his eyelids release. He said: She did well, and Tamīm and everyone present were moved. Then she sang: The first of a superior man will console you for what has passed; Its beginnings are praiseworthy and its ends. God bent his two sides and composed his person Upon righteousness since his waist-wrappers were tied on him. The emir Tamīm and those present were deeply moved, then she sang: I entrust to God in Baghdad a moon of mine, In al-Karkh, from the constellation of buttons its rising place. Tamīm's emotion intensified greatly, and then he said to her: Wish for whatever you want, and your wish will be granted. She said: I wish for the emir's well-being and continued life. He said: By God, you must wish for something. She said: Will the emir honor his word in what I wish? He said: Yes. She said: I wish to sing this song in Baghdad. Tamīm's color drained, and his expression changed, and the gathering became gloomy. He rose, and we all rose. Ibn al-Ashkarī said: One of his servants caught up with me and said: Return, for the emir is calling you. I returned and found him sitting waiting for me. I greeted him and sat before him. He said: [Woe to you], did you see what we have been tested with? I said: Yes, emir. He said: I must fulfill her wish, and I trust no one else in this matter but you. Prepare to take her to Baghdad. When she sings there, send her back. I said: I hear and obey. He said: Then I rose and prepared. He ordered her to prepare, and he gave her a black slave girl of his to accompany and serve her. He ordered a she-camel and a litter, and she was placed in it. He sent her with me. Then I traveled with the caravan to Makkah, and we performed our pilgrimage. Then we joined the Iraqi caravan and traveled. When we reached al-Qādisiyya, the black slave girl came to me from her and said: My mistress says to you: Where are we? I said to her: We are stopping at al-Qādisiyya. She went back and told her. It was not long before I heard her voice rising in song: When we reached al-Qādisiyya, Where the caravans gather, And I smelled from the land of Ḥijāz The breeze of the winds of Iraq, I became certain for me and for the one I love Of a reunion and concord, And I laughed from the joy of meeting As I wept from separation. People from all sides of the caravan cried out: Seek refuge in God! Seek refuge in God! He said: Not a word was heard from her after that. He said: Then we stopped at al-Yāsiriyya, which is near Baghdad, among connected gardens. People stop there and spend the night, then leave early to enter Baghdad. When it was near dawn, the black slave girl came to me in alarm. I said: What is the matter with you? She said: My mistress is not here. I said: Where is she? She said: By God, I do not know. He said: I found no trace of her after that. I entered Baghdad, took care of my business there, and returned to him. I told him the news. It weighed heavily on him, and he grieved for it. After that, he kept remembering her and remained silent and sorrowful over her. Al-Ḥasan b. ʿAbd Allāh b. al-Marzubān, Abū Saʿīd al-Sīrāfī, the grammarian and judge He lived in Baghdad, held the office of judge there, and transmitted there from a group, from ʿAbd Allāh b. Muḥammad b. Ziyād, Abū Bakr b. Durayd, and others. His father was a Magian named Behzād, and Abū Saʿīd named him ʿAbd Allāh. Raʾīs al-Ruʾasāʾ Abū al-Qāsim ʿAlī b. al-Ḥasan said: He mentioned that Abū Saʿīd al-Sīrāfī the grammarian used to study the Qurʾān, Qurʾānic readings, Qurʾānic sciences, grammar, lexicography, jurisprudence, inheritance law, theology, poetry, prosody, rhyme, and arithmetic. He mentioned other sciences besides these. He was one of the most learned people in the grammar of the Baṣrans, and he followed the school of the people of Iraq in jurisprudence. He studied the Qurʾān under Abū Bakr b. Mujāhid and lexicography under Ibn Durayd. Both of them studied grammar with him. He studied grammar under Abū Bakr b. al-Sarrāj and Abū Bakr al-Mubramān. One of them studied the Qurʾān with him, and the other studied arithmetic with him. He was ascetic and ate only from the work of his own hands. My grandfather Abū al-Faraj mentioned about him that he did not go out to the court of the mighty ruler or to the teaching assembly every day until after he had copied ten leaves, for which he received ten dirhams as his fee, enough for his daily expenses, and then he went out. Ibn Abī al-Fawāris said: It was mentioned about him that he held Muʿtazilī views, but we did not see him display anything of that. He was virtuous and chaste. He died in Rajab of this year at the age of eighty-four, and was buried in the cemetery of al-Khayzurān. ʿAbd Allāh b. Ibrāhīm b. Yūsuf, Abū al-Qāsim al-Zanjānī, known as al-Ābんどūnī It is a village among the villages of Jurjān. He was one of the travelers in pursuit of knowledge and ḥadīth to various lands. He was a companion of Abū Aḥmad b. ʿAdī al-Ḥāfiẓ. He settled in Baghdad and transmitted from Abū Yaʿlā al-Mawṣilī, al-Ḥasan b. Sufyān, Ibn Khuzayma, and others. Al-Barqānī and others transmitted from him. He was trustworthy, reliable, and a compiler. Al-Khaṭīb said: I heard al-Barqānī mention al-Ābんどūnī and say: He was a ḥadīth scholar who had eaten his salt. He was ascetic. He would not transmit to more than one person alone. He was asked about that, and he said: The people of ḥadīth have bad manners. When they gather for audition, they talk among themselves, and I cannot bear that. Al-Barqānī said: One day he handed me a cup containing dry pieces of bread and ordered me to carry it to the bean seller so that he could pour bean broth over it. I did that. When the bean seller poured the water from the beans into the cup, two or three beans came out. He said: The bean seller hurried to remove them. I said to him: Woe to you, what is the amount of this that you remove them from the cup? He said: This shaykh gives me a dāniq each month to moisten his dry pieces of bread. How could I give him beans along with the water? Al-Barqānī went on describing his frugality and asceticism, and he said: He was a master among the ḥadīth scholars. Al-Ābんどūnī died in Jumādā al-Ūlā of this year. ʿAbd Allāh b. Warqāʾ, Abū Aḥmad al-Shaybānī Al-Qazzāz informed us, al-Khaṭīb informed us, saying: Abū Aḥmad al-Shaybānī was from noble families, and his family were from the frontier regions. The judge Abū ʿAlī recited to us, saying: The emir Abū Aḥmad b. Warqāʾ recited to us, saying: Thaʿlab recited to us, saying: Ibn al-Aʿrābī recited to me, from a Bedouin, in describing women: She is the crooked rib; you cannot straighten it. Indeed, straightening ribs is their breaking. Do they combine weakness and power over a man? Is it not astonishing, her weakness and her power? Abū Aḥmad died at the end of Dhū al-Ḥijja of this year, having reached ninety years. ʿAbd Allāh b. al-Ḥasan b. Sulaymān, Abū al-Qāsim al-Muqrīʾ, known as Ibn al-Naḥḥās He was born in the year 290.

He was trustworthy, a man of the Qurʾān, excellence, goodness, chastity, concealment, sound intellect, and good doctrine. He died in Dhū al-Qaʿda of this year. ʿĪsā b. Ḥāmid b. Bishr b. ʿĪsā, Abū al-Ḥasan al-Qāḍī, known as Ibn Bint al-Qanbīṭī He heard Jaʿfar al-Firyābī and Ibn Jarīr al-Ṭabarī, and he was one of their companions. He was trustworthy and of good conduct. He died in Dhū al-Ḥijja of this year. Muḥammad b. Aḥmad b. Ibrāhīm, Abū al-Ḥasan al-Shāfiʿī He heard Muḥammad b. ʿUthmān b. Abī Shayba. He died on Thursday in Jumādā al-Ūlā of this year. Abū al-Ḥusayn al-Sikhtiyānī Muḥammad b. Isḥāq b. Muḥammad b. Ibrāhīm, Abū al-Ḥusayn al-Sikhtiyānī. He heard Abū al-ʿAbbās al-Thaqafī and his contemporaries. He was one of the devoted worshippers. He used to perform pilgrimage and go on military campaigns, and the people of his town did not know about that. When he was asked about his absence, he would not speak of it. He died in Rajab of this year at the age of sixty-six. Muḥammad b. ʿĪsā [b. Muḥammad] b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, Abū Aḥmad al-Julūdī He transmitted from Ibrāhīm b. Muḥammad b. Sufyān, from Muslim, his Ṣaḥīḥ. He was one of the ascetics. He used to copy leaves and eat from the work of his own hands. He died in Dhū al-Ḥijja of this year at the age of eighty. Muḥammad b. Muḥammad b. Yūsuf, Abū Bakr al-Liḥyānī al-Muqrīʾ He settled in Nīsābūr and made claims in Qurʾānic readings. Abū Bakr b. al-Imām said: I said to Abū Bakr al-Liḥyānī: With whom did you study in Iraq? He said: With Abū Bakr b. Mujāhid. I said: Did you study with him before he dyed his hair or after he dyed it? He said: I studied with him after he had dyed it. He said: I said: Did you study with him before he took the staff in his hand or after he took the staff in his hand? He said: He never went out except with the staff in his hand. He said: I said: O man, by God besides whom there is no god, Abū Bakr b. Mujāhid never dyed his hair and never took a staff in his hand. Al-ʿAqīqī The owner of the bath and the house attributed to him in the locality of Bāb al-Barīd in Damascus. His name was Aḥmad b. al-Ḥusayn b. Aḥmad b. ʿAlī b. Muḥammad al-ʿAqīqī b. Jaʿfar b. ʿAbd Allāh b. al-Ḥusayn al-Aṣghar b. ʿAlī b. al-Ḥusayn b. ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib, the noble Abū al-Qāsim al-Ḥusaynī al-ʿAqīqī. Ibn ʿAsākir said: He was one of the leading nobles in Damascus. The house and the bath in the locality of al-Barīd are attributed to him. Al-Waʾwāʾ al-Dimashqī praised him. He mentioned that he died on Tuesday, four days into Jumādā al-Ūlā of this year, and that he was buried the next day. The city was closed because of his funeral. Bakjūr and his companions—meaning the governor of Damascus—attended it. He was buried outside Bāb al-Ṣaghīr. I say: Al-Malik al-Ẓāhir Rukn al-Dīn Baybars bought his house and built it into a school, a house of ḥadīth, and a tomb, and his grave is there. That was around the year 670. Abū al-Ḥasan Thābit b.
